2024-10-29 19:42:56With a smile on his face, Bryce Grant Milano got off an online taxi, and stepped into the top-class building.
"I'm proud of my wife. Veronica has managed to become a successful woman. The company she led experienced a golden age and reached a glorious peak. I’m so in love," Bryce muttered. The man has been married to Veronica Carter for two years.
"Be careful if you walk you spill my drink," scolded a woman as Bryce nudged her.
"Oh, Arelyn. Sorry, I just came to pick up my wife," he responded. Bryce recognised her as his wife's secretary, Arelyn.
"It's a good thing this flower is okay. Veronica will be happy to see this." Bryce had ordered a bouquet as a special surprise.
"Don't joke around. That cheap bouquet would only be an insult to Miss Carter," said Arelyn shaking her head with a slight laugh. Her tone seemed much colder.
"Let's make things quicker and easier. Mr Milano, please sign the document right now."
A confused Bryce immediately asked, "Arelyn, what is this document?"
The woman, with a haughty expression, responded, "Divorce papers between yourself and Miss Carter."
"Divorce?" Bryce stunned to hear this. "My relationship with Veronica is fine. Yes, we have experienced a little tension lately, this is normal in every relationship."
Bryce never expected to get divorce papers for all the full support he had given Veronica.
"There's a mistake here. I want to see my wife," Bryce responded evasively. He even returned the document to Arelyn, then she became angry.
"Bryce Milano, stop your pace. I am here as Miss Carter's representative because she is not in the office and wants to convey her request through this document. Open your eyes. This is reality!"
Bryce, who was shouted at in a harsh and rude tone, immediately responded, "Arelyn, watch your tone. I am the husband of your boss, after all."
The woman chuckled when she heard Bryce's sentence. This scene began to cause reactions from the crowd in the office. Many pairs of eyes were now focused on Bryce and Arelyn.
"I don't want to create a scene, but you started it. A rubbish man like you doesn't deserve to call himself a husband. Aren't you ashamed that people here always gossip about your wife?"
Arelyn stepped closer and whispered, "Bryce, you are a shameful man, a disgrace to Veronica. Your relationship with her is a humiliation to her success."
The crowd seemed to be getting more enthusiastic to see where the debate went, hearing the jeers. The people in the office strongly agreed with Arelyn's line.
"This man is crazy. I knew he was just a useless husband."
Arelyn dragged Bryce's hand and brought him to one of the desks next to the receptionist. The people who saw the incident sneered at Bryce even more.
"You better sign this document and let Miss Carter go for good. That woman's burden is already too heavy. If you love your wife, then this is a better gift for you than that cheap bouquet. Didn’t you tire to embarrass your wife like this?" Arelyn pressed Bryce.
"Arelyn, How could you say those things to me?" Bryce began to feel that the secretary's words were true.
"Because deep down in your heart, you know what I said it's true. Look at your insulting gift to the bouquets from other businessmen now on display in the office. Bryce, we both know it’s nothing to her. You can’t even compete in the losing game," Arelyn pressed Bryce down.
Bryce looked back at the divorce document. His eyes saw every word written there. The pen in his hand even felt heavy to sign the document.
"Come on! Your wife has been a clown for too long because of your presence. This office is even like a circus show every time you come," Arelyn pressed, which made Bryce feel even more helpless.
"Is this the correct thing to do?" Bryce tried to brace himself to sign the document.
"So this is the end of this hobo man. What a foolish girl who chose to stand with a trash bag instead of a cash bag. Was she turned on by this messy man or did she have a degrading kink?"
When Bryce heard that, he did not accept it. "What did you just say? Tell that to my face."
The man got up, leaving the pen and divorce document that had not been signed.
"You work in this company, but you have the nerve to insult your boss," Bryce reprimanded the men, but they laughed.
"Dude, you don't need to overreact like that. Your wife is our boss, but she's also a joke in this office because of you. We've all even heard rumours that you'll be divorced soon and given monetary compensation as damages. And it was crazy to think like that. Was she a weirdo like you?"
Bryce felt even more annoyed, especially when he heard the compensation. He had given everything for Veronica's success. A year ago, Bryce had even sold all his remaining assets so that his wife could become a great businessman.
"Yeah, our boss was too stupid to give a big value to her trashy husband when it should be the woman who should receive the compensation money due to her reputation that became ugly."
Bryce, who did not accept his wife being made fun of, immediately grabbed the man's collar and landed a crushing blow.
"Bryce, stop it. You are doing too much. Security, help, security. Stop this bandit before he ruins more property," Arelyn shouted with an angry tone.
"Let me go. You guys are crazy trying to hold me back when this guy can't keep his mouth shut," Bryce snapped as some security tried to stop him.
Ding!
When the sound of the lift was over, the door opened and revealed a famous person stepping out of it.
"Bryce, stop everything!" Veronica's voice echoed in the room.

Bryce could see that Veronica was even uncomfortable with the situation.The hand clenched in the air and then stretched out on its own. Bryce also released the collar of the man he was holding. But when he was caught off guard, the man managed to throw a counter punch.It made Bryce stagger just a few steps in front of his wife. Everyone gasped at the unexpected situation, including Veronica.Bryce slowly got up while trying to tidy up his clothes, which were already dishevelled and looked dirty from the fight. The security there also responsively separated the two."Veronica, do you want a divorce from me?" Bryce replied by giving a pitiful look.Veronica, who saw Bryce's innocent face, felt hesitant, but she immediately looked away, not to look weak or affected by the situation.She did not answer his question at all. Instead, she wandered around and looked for someone to take charge of everything."Arelyn, I only gave you a simple task, but why did things get messy ?" Veronica sai

"Ah, I can handle this shit. I guess it’s time to go."Bryce left the building in his clothes while carrying the necklace. But there was something he didn't realise. A black car was suddenly seen entering and speeding away.Bruck!Bryce staggers and falls backwards. The small incident didn't seriously injure him, but it was enough to dislocate his bones.Slowly, the car lights faded, as the driver turned off the engine. The car doors opened up automatically, and two people stepped out of there."Mum, Mate, what are you here for?" Bryce slowly got up and greeted them as if the incident had not happened.A fashionably dressed man and woman with an arrogant and cruel gaze and no guilt at all walked over. Bryce recognised the woman as Lexy Rivera, his mother-in-law, while the man was Veronica's brother Levi Riviera.Slap!"Stop pretending to be nice to me," sneered Lexy with a disgusted look."Mum, why did you slap me?" asked Bryce in confusion.Instead of getting an answer, Lexy threw ou

Bryce immediately picked up the call without waiting any longer. The voice heard from the unknown call was the sweet voice of a woman."Hello, am I talking to Mr Bryce Milano?"Bryce was now curious. Many questions crossed his head. He didn't feel like he recognised the woman's voice, but strangely, she even knew Bryce's full name."Yes, I am Bryce. But is it okay to know who I'm talking to now?"Bryce was seen turning around and stepping away while talking on the phone. It made Levi and Lexy curious as to who the man was calling."I'm Tamara. I know you have a lot of questions right now, but trust me, I can answer anything that crosses your mind right now. Meet and come to me, then you will know everything. But before that, I also need your help. Think of it as an equal exchange."As Bryce heard the sentence from the woman, he became even curious."Well, you can assume that I agree to your offer. But what can I do? At least tell me what things you want from me," Bryce responded to fe

"You bastard! How dare you throw your despicable hand in my face," Levi replied angrily.Lexy, who saw her son get hit, felt upset. The woman said, "Bryce, how dare you. You dare to hit my son. You will get what you deserve."Levi and Lexy were honestly very surprised by Bryce's actions. They knew that even if Bryce were bullied, the man would never retaliate with violence."Mum, I'm sorry, but I can't wait any longer. Rubbish men like Bryce will go downhill if left unchecked. I'm going to retaliate directly with my hand to let men like him know where they stand," Levi said with a hateful look.Bryce was still silent there, the man staring at the two with a contemptuous look. He even did not reply to a single word of the words thrown at him.The man calmly watched as Levi clenched his fists and stepped forward, trying to attack him. Although Levi's movements looked quite skilful for an amateur, in a split second, Bryce seemed to be able to see the pattern the man would take so that he

The moment they saw her coming, people were stunned. The menacing look in her eyes made the atmosphere tense.Levi and Lexy also felt confused by the woman's figure as she seemed unfamiliar yet familiar at the same time. Bryce looked at the woman's appearance from bottom to top, and he smiled. Although he did not recognise the woman before him, her character was so strong that it made the security guards helpless."Hi, miss..." Bryce returned the woman's greeting as if they were already acquainted."I'm Tamara Reed, the person who called you earlier," the woman said gracefully.Levi and Lexy, who saw the woman's figure, were amazed at her beauty, but at the same time, they were annoyed that another intruder was blocking their plans."Oh. I see. Nice to meet you. What's so urgent that you came to see me here? Earlier you said we would meet somewhere. I've already received the location's address, but it looks like you're the one who approached me. I wonder how you could find my location

When Bryce heard that, he was shocked."Are you serious? Don't try to fool me. If this is an attempted scam, I'll make sure it doesn't end well for you," Bryce said incredulously.Tamara sighed. The woman looked a little flustered but tried to appear confident."Sir, I am not lying. Everything I said just now has a solid foundation. If you have any doubts, come with me. My car is parked across the street. I can prove my words."Feeling he had no other options, Bryce finally decided to follow Tamara. He still showed a cautious attitude."Sir, what are you waiting for standing there? Let's get in the car," Tamara assured Bryce.He looked around, making sure there were no other threats that might harm him in the car.A relieved Bryce said, "So what proof are you going to show me?"Tamara picked up a box from the back seat and gave it to the man beside her."What is this?" asked Bryce in confusion."The answer you seek," Tamara replied.Bryce immediately opened the box, and he was confuse

Soon, the car was on its way to one of the top designer boutiques in town. Tamara drove the car with great excitement, and Bryce could see the smile on the beautiful woman's face."Sir, we've arrived. Let's get off!" said a delighted Tamara.A slightly confused Bryce responded, "Tamara, why are we stopping here? I thought you would take me straight to the Milano residence."Tamara was about to laugh when she heard that innocent sentence, but she quickly controlled herself."Sir, apologies if I'm presumptuous, but you might be able to see your appearance," she said."What's wrong with my appearance? I'm wearing normal clothes," Bryce said innocently."Well, that's the right analysis. That's precisely the problem. You look too ordinary. People won't think you're special looking like this. I'm sure they won't believe a word you say or care what you have to say," Tamara explains.Bryce could only stare at that. He did not understand some of the rich people's game rules."The clothes you'r

As the store guards dragged Bryce out of there, he tried to give some explanations so that the manager would not involve the police."Maam, I am one of the customers at your shop. Why am I being discriminated against and treated like this?"The manager was stunned and then looked Bryce up and down."Liar! That's not possible. That guy can't possibly afford to buy clothes at this particular designer store," the woman who created the commotion reappeared there."My lover's words must be true. I'm pretty sure this man sneaked in to do something bad," the man who was the woman's partner chimed in.The Manager felt that what they were saying was very true."Judging by his appearance, there's no way this guy can afford any of our collection," she mused.As the Manager, she immediately took a mobile phone from her pocket to make a call, but Bryce intercepted it immediately."I'm sorry if my actions were presumptuous. But you should listen to me too. I am indeed a new customer here. If you do

Chapter 174: Considered Inappropriate
The mere mention of the peerless genius made Rey's face fill with admiration.The one Rey was talking about was the son of the leader of the Martial Arts Union. That person is the junior leader. He was talented enough to become the best martial arts champion in Novaria.Despite knowing that Veronica is not a good match for the genius, Rey mentions the genius to bring Bryce down.However, Bryce only smiled and shook his head gently.Bryce thought to himself, genius? Could one be called a genius if he had reached the level of a Half Expert in his twenties? Can one be called a peerless genius if one reaches the Expert level? I don't think so.People who think like that are narrow-minded.Many people in the Martial Arts World are more talented than the aforementioned people.Bryce had met one person who was born to be a Brawler.
